Karen DeClerk, MA, is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Herbalist, who weaves together Jungian and Transpersonal Psychology, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and a hearty sprinkling of the Wise Woman Herbal Tradition to support her clients in coming to know, honor and nourish all parts of themselves. Karen specializes in working with women’s issues & transitions, members of the adoption triad (adoptees, adoptive parents and birth parents), issues surrounding HIV, loss & grief, and those seeking soul nourishment and growth. She has a Master of Arts in Transpersonal Counseling Psychology from Naropa University, a Master of Business Administration from Arkansas State University, and Certificates in Herbalism from the Rocky Mountain Center for Botanical Studies and the Western Herbal Tradition.

Utilizing cutting edge energy medicine tools and coaching, I help clients with addictions, head injury and mood disorders. I primarily utilize Low Energy Neurofeedback (LENS) to help clients recover from neurological symptoms and previous trauma. Other tools include far-infrared photon light therapy, EFT (Emotional Focused Therapy) Addictions Counseling and Eating Psychology Coaching.

My goal as a therapist is guiding others to wellness, using their unique creative expression as a means to resiliency and envisioning your best self. I have been in the service of others since 1990 as case manager, clinician, supervisor, program manager and teacher. Through the Boulder Art Therapy Collective I offer Art Therapy, other traditional therapies, and Reiki through individual, family or group therapy. I use a variety of training and skills including Art Therapy, EMDR, Trauma Focused-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Sand tray and other models. I also offer professional supervision and trainings. Areas of specialization are trauma, grief and loss, adoption, children/teens, families, parenting/co-parenting, and gender identity.
